I have a stripped shift bar cone screw. I bought a spiral screw extractor. Bit and extractor in kit. Do I drill clockwise? What direction to turn extractor?

Drill a hole as normal. Try to get it as centered as possible (this can be tricky).
I'm assuming that the head broke off because it is rusted solid. Use PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench and let is soak. Apply some heat too if you can. Then put the extractor bit in your drill and run it in reverse (extraction direction). Go slow and put a lot of downward pressure to get the edges of the bit to bite into the metal. Once the screw starts to move, keep going and it will unscrew itself. Good Luck George |
